Anyway it seems reasonable to get a hot summer followed by a wet

I used this logic(?) when my neighbours asked me at the end of one long,
hot, dry summer what the next summer would be like. The year was 1975. Doh!

Well, as I said in my second post, as soon as you detect a trend it
ends. That does imply there was a trend! or even such a cycle exists.

Up to and including 1975, diring the 20th century all the outstandingly
good summers in England occurred in odd-numbered years and almost all
the outstandingly bad ones in even-numbered years.
